Randolph W. Taylor ’61
Body

Randy died Nov. 13, 2022, in New York City. 

He prepared for Princeton at Kew Forest School in Forest Hills, N.Y., where he was a member of the yearbook team and the student government. At Princeton, he majored in the Woodrow Wilson School, writing his thesis on “The Heroism of the French Resistance during World War II.” He took his meals at Key and Seal, was executive editor of The Daily Princetonian, and roomed with Frank Childers.

Following Princeton, Randy earned a law degree at Yale and entered practice with Lovejoy, Wasson, Lundgren and Ashton, then Goldfields Consolidated, and finally Murray, Hollander and Bass until his retirement. He lived in New York City his entire adult life. We know little else, as, regrettably, he was never in touch with the class or the University, so far as we know.

He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Emilia.
